title: Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP): a new precipitating agent for human and bovine factor VIII and fibrinogen.
abstract: The PVP precipitating properties for human and bovine factor VIII and fibrinogen were studied and a new technique for the fractionation of factor VIII and fibrinogen was developed. The precipitation was performed at different temperatures and different PVP concentrations and the best conditions for the technique were chosen. The technique consists of two steps: (a) precipitation of factor VIII from undiluted plasma with PVP and (b) washing of the precipitate with a glycine--saline solution. The final concentrate contains 90% of the factor VIII and 20% of the fibrinogen of the original plasma.
